I bet Des was just playing dead.
To me, it looked like that bag of groceries absorbed a lot of the impact. He might have had a surface injury, but nothing that would prevent him from kicking Ben's ass up and down that dock.

I guess it's a good thing that Desmond chose that day to buy a titanium-steel cookpot in the grocery's home goods section, then.
I missed Desmond getting shot at! I just watched the ep again.
Okay, so it is clear that Desmond falls over, but he isn't bleeding.
I was laughing at some of the stuff in this week's episode
Me too! The Locke & Linus Show had me giggling constantly.
Oh my God, seriously. I was cracking up a lot. Especially at lines like "Is this about the fact that I tried to kill you?" and "Consider that my apology." OH BEN. NEVER CHANGE.
What got me laughing was Ben admitting that he killed Locke because he didn't have enough time to talk him BACK into suicide.
YES! That too. God, that was hilarious. He was so matter-of-fact about it. Like, "Come on, anyone would do the same thing in my shoes."
Also gotta give the writers credit for building up Caesar into a character who seemed to be "important" only to blow him away so quickly.

I had to pause Tivo because I was laughing so hard. I loved this entire episode--the writing, and watching O'Quinn and Emerson play off each other.
Did anyone else stand up and cheer when Des was beating Ben up? I was saying "yeah!" with every punch he landed!
The new people going crazy is an interesting idea, but I got the impression that they had been planning this all along, and the reasons they were on the plane were bogus. Or not.
And we don't know that Caesar is dead, yet.
I think Ben is Gul Du Kat. Locke might be Garak.
